The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), a key measure of market volatility and investor fear, has declined for the fourth consecutive day, falling over 15% during the week to close at 24.85. This marks its lowest level since the April 2 tariff hikes announced by former President Donald Trump. The VIX had previously surged to a high of 60.13 but has now returned to the 25 range, indicating a calming in the options market.
